No effect on the velocity

Explanation:

The orbital velocity/speed of a satellite is INDEPENDENT of the mass of the satellite, but it is dependent upon the radius of orbit and the mass of the planet being orbited by the satellite.
Formula:
#v = # square root of #GM_E/r#

#G = # gravitational constant

# M_E =# Mass of Earth/planet

#r =# radius of the orbit
